lM PROVEM ENT IN PATTY-PANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,939, dated April 30, 1878; application filed October 18, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, SAMUEL J. Fnosr and HENRY T. SMITH, of Brooklyn city, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tin Patty-Pans, for grocers and other use; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refer ence being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to that class of manu facture employed in the construction of light tinware for grocers or bakers patty-pans, or for other purposes.

We are fully aware that a number of patents havebeen granted for various devices for cheap grocers butter-dishes but our joint invention consists in constructing a cheap light butterdish or patty-pan of thin sheet metal, stiffened by flutin g or triple grooving the entire edge longitudinally around the pan, in combination with the vertical corrugations across the ends of said patty-pans, by means of a drop or other die, to produce a more rigid and serviceable article of commerce.

The drawing represents one-half of a pattypan, A, cut transversely through the center thereof to show the triple recesses or longitudinal grooves 1 1 l and angles 2 2 2", which constitute the rigid properties of the edge of the pan, also showing the corrugations G O at the end of the dish A.

What we claim as our invention, and wish SAMUEL J. FROST. HENRY T. SMITH.
